You can GROW... HEAL... THRIVE!

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."

- Norman Vincent Peale

Are you living the life that you’ve always envisioned for yourself? If the answer is “no”, this could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe it’s anxiety or stress. Maybe it’s depression. Perhaps it could be due to overwhelming feelings of low self-esteem when you look in the mirror. Whatever it is that has been holding you back, you just know that you do not want to continue to live like this and feel this way. You want to wake up in the morning and feel hopeful, excited, and confident to tackle the day ahead. You long to finally be able to enjoy your time spent with loved ones and be present — rather than being consumed by feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or poor body image.

You are not alone...

Many people may struggle silently with feelings of anxiety, worry, sadness, or low self-esteem. It doesn’t have to be this way, and you do not need to figure this out all on your own. Therapy can provide you with the supportive space to share and process your feelings, as well as the opportunity to develop coping skills and improved self-esteem. You CAN live the life you’ve always envisioned – achieving your goals and exuding confidence.

Therapy Services I Specialize In

Eating Disorder Therapy

Are you consumed with thoughts about food, exercise, or your weight? Eating disorder therapy can provide a variety of coping skills and therapeutic tools to help you finally feel at peace with food and your body.

EMDR Therapy

Are you experiencing symptoms of emotional distress related to a past trauma in your life? Studies have shown that EMDR therapy can provide an increased rate of reduction in symptoms compared to talk therapy alone.

Anxiety Therapy

Do you constantly feel worried, tense, or find it difficult to relax? Anxiety therapy can offer tools such as mindfulness practices, coping skills, and talk therapy to help you find relief and calm your racing mind.

Self emBody Therapy is ran by Sarah Lawley Chernick, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego, CA

Welcome! I’m so glad that you’re here. I commend you for respecting yourself and honoring the desire for support at this time. The first step to change is self-awareness; so you are already halfway there! I am a strength-based therapist and I believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal from our past and pave the way for desired changes in our future. Sometimes we just might need a little guidance and help along the way; which is simply a part of being human! I provide a collaborative, non-judgmental stance in therapy. Come as you are. Together we will examine all aspects of your current reality, what you would like your future reality to look like, and how we can work together to get you there. We always have the potential to heal; I would be honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside you in your journey and help you do just that.

I believe it is essential to find a therapist that you feel you can connect and work well with. I offer a free 15 minute consultation in which we can discuss your current struggles and see if we may be a good fit. If you feel that beginning therapy with me is something you may be interested in, please reach out to schedule your consultation.
